What can you do with this photo? stars, strips, garland, colors, confetti...

I went with the feel and the stars of the photo. I mimicked the star garlands by sewing down some die cut stars and the negative die cut. I saw a hint of blue in the photo so I also pulled that in. I used my Fancy Pants The Good Life collection, along with some MFT Dies and the 'new year' was cut with my Silhouette.

We are hosting a quiet family gathering with my parents and a couple of the girls' friends for New Years. What will you be doing?

I have decided to take this week off from the Inspired By Challenges. It is so close to Christmas that I am sure most of us are in the same boat and frantically trying to get all of our last minute items done. I will most certainly be back next week all fresh and new and ready to go again.Have a Merry Christmas everyone and I will see you in one week.

Such a clean & simple inspiration photo this week. I can see using the grid, circles, wreaths, colors, a banner....

I went with the CAS and the wreath. I used my PTI stamp A Wreath for All Seasons, some May Arts Jute twine and a pearl from Want2Scrap. The main panel is on foam squares for dimension. I am really trying to make more 'mailable' cards this year as most of mine tend to cost me a fortune to mail!

Since this is the first challenge of the month there will be a prize up for grabs. This month some SEI goodies for you.
